I love cats, cycling, swimming, road trips, and being in airports and on airplanes. I like the idea of travel, and I usually like the actual travelling between places part better than being at the destination.

I'm poly and GGG. I'm a feminist and I try to be a good ally to LGBTQ folks and POC. I like listening to Dan Savage thinking about how relationships work.

I'm introverted, so parties and large groups are harder for me to deal with as I get older. When it comes to friends for one-on-one time, I can always find a spot in my schedule.

I listen to a lot of podcasts while I'm walking places, and I have a lot more books on my list of things to read than I can reasonably get through, but there's value in the effort, right?

What I’m doing with my life

Programmer. Cyclist at large. Secret Asian Man.

I'm swimming and cycling my way through this part of my life. I drink coffee and write letters to friends on nice paper with fountain pens. I think I've found a reasonable groove here.

I’m really good at

I'm getting pretty good at swimming, and I enjoy cyclocross. I've been working on my penmanship, and I bake a pretty decent pie.

The first things people usually notice about me

I have two half-sleeve tattoos and I currently have green (was blue) hair. I'm not sure that's what people notice first, but those seem like good candidates. Maybe that's just wishful thinking.

The nature of self. Feminism, ecology, politics. I read a lot of science writing, and I worry about the environment.

On a typical Friday night I am

Home. My introversion usually means that I want to spend Friday evening quietly or with just one or two people. I often have swim practice on Friday mornings, so I'm exhausted by the time evening comes anyway.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit

I'm kinda weepy. If you can work me up over something, I might cry. (Note: I once cried watching a video of a cheetah run in slow motion. Actually, I do that every time I see that video.)

You should message me if

You're athletic, don't mind the whole polyamory thing, and have at least some interest in science, technology and/or politics.
